Not the first, not the last either

Second CNY away from home, never gonna get use to it. Had to do something to make it feel a little bit special than other days so dim sum for brunch it was. Somehow only had it twice when I was back in Malaysia last summer, even though I said I miss it so many times in Twitter, to family and friends.

So full almost skipped lifesaving wet session, but glad that I didn't, otherwise I wouldn't be able to have dinner lol. Wish everyone a good year ahead, as my 好朋友 said, .快乐最重要, so yea start doing, keep doing things that make you happy. And erm my 好朋友的好朋友 says, 健康也很重要, may everyone be healthy and live a long life happily.

Late

Didn't leave the house for the whole day. So pyjamas all day, had breakfast, watched some videos I think lol can't even remember, cooked lunch, did my homework, more videos bla bla bla. Nothing much. So I didn't really know what to write here. Oh by the way, the noodles I bought from Chinatown the other day because I needed to get extra things to be able to use card lol was really good, life's full of surprise lol~

But before I fell asleep, a random thought popped up: people around us are all mirrors, for us to see ourselves in them. They're not like the Mirror of Erised, not so deep, so powerful, but are definitely useful. We use mirror to see how we look, and to make ourselves look better, so other than physical appearance, maybe our self-improvement could use these mirrors too?

Rainy day

Stood in front of the rack with honey, maple syrup and nutella for so long this evening, they're on sale but hmmm should I should I not. Bought a pack of crisps at the end, what la.

Saw something on my way home after lecture, cant really describe it well but I don't have a photo. It is a part of a bird, I believe, some bones, feather, oh my, but I didn't see other part near it. Namo Amitābha

Flatmate's parcel from home arrived today, filled with all these goodies. A small fraction of what we normally see at home, in granny's living room, but hey they traveled miles and miles just to bring some warmth to this cold CNY. Family is probably back in hometown now, while I am here watching Chibi Maruko Chan celebrating New Year. 

Those small little things

Tried making the egg stand since it's 立春 but failed. CNY is so near, grandma, uncles and aunts were discussing whether to rent a house as this year many relatives will be visiting, there's not enough bed and space for all. You're welcome guys, don't have to thank me for that 1 empty bed. :')

Flowers are blooming already. So much earlier than last year. This winter is definitely warmer than last year. At least I haven't felt so cold that I start counting down to spring like last year. Can't wait to see London in full bloom.

Business before pleasure

This bad habit of procrastinating. You know mighty well that having your task done, your target achieved instead of leaving them to tomorrow will have the weight on your heart lightened. That is the sole best way, but you always wait, allow yourself to be distracted by some other interesting things and then go to bed feeling bad, guilty. And then, you wake up with all the burden from yesterday, which is extra heavy, if it's cotton yesterday, it's drenched today.  

Anyway, those are some matcha goodness I indulged in today, thanks to flatmate. One of the things I miss so much when I am in the UK but did not even try to look for when I went back to Malaysia. The list goes on and on. Gosh stop or you are going to list everything out.

To think before you act

Or not? That is a question, in my opinion.

I normally end up not doing something if I start thinking about it. That's because even if it is just 5 seconds, I would already have come up with at least 10 reasons or more accurately, excuses for me to not do that thing. So if it is something which you should do, you want to do, maybe just do it and before you realize, you have already done it, perfectly, and the 10 excuses do not mean anything really, then.

Was in Chinatown just now when they were getting the CNY decoration up. 6 days to 年初一. This year, CNY doesn't fall on the reading week, it's a week earlier instead. Just how many times had I thought whether I should just skip a week and go home for 2 weeks. Hah this kind of things, you should really think before you act. I did and so I will not.

I shall sleep. Till then.

Hi February!

01.02.16

Always thought Monday is very important in determining how that week is going to be like. Wake up at once when the alarm goes off, then mostly for that week you will not click on that snooze button. Well, I mean days when you are not forced to wake up early, which exclude days with 9am lecture, urgh. 

Taking the tube once in a while reminds me that I really am in London. Hah yea why do I need to be reminded, I am, in London. London is so congested with people from every corner of the world, including me. So sometimes, the tube is one of the things which I see London in besides the usual, Big Ben, Tower Bridge etc. 

What nonsense is this. 

More to come.
Heh.
